The Hidden Paan Shop
Hidden beneath the leaves of trees is a blue shop -
Gleefully I smile; half - construed but true shop.
No soul in sight, parking heedlessly, now I plight -
Wearing chapals, I go in - flight to this new shop.
Entering, I see a man’s mouthy visage -
Working he spits in a silver bowl in this rue...

The Alchemist of LoveTonight from all but you, beloved, I shall part—
This frail, forlorn heart’s copper turned to golden art.
To taste the drops of your love’s alchemy so bright,
Through passion’s flame, my soul ascends in fervent light.
The lute and harp intoxicate me, heart undone,
Yet the magic echo of your words outshines the sun.
You spoke of rain, of thorny...

Burden became my lifeHither all her desires, thither my fires,
Balancing both, burden became my life.
In hope of love I walked with wilderness,
Breathe in, breathe out, mundane became my life.
For an excuse to smile, I just shed tears,
Crematorium’s cauldron became my life.
You came to my world, to a wrong address,
To blessings beholden became my life.
Flowers vie with thorns...

My PermissionIn life’s fierce storms, I stand, my heart’s own mission,
No wound can pierce me without my permission.
The world may rage, its arrows sharp and swift,
Yet I decide if pain gains my admission.
Words like daggers, thrown with cruel intent,
Fall harmless when denied my heart’s submission.
For I am sovereign of my soul’s domain,
No trespasser can breach without...

This lifeA crystal clear imprint this life,
Still, true story’s false hint this life.
Life of great possibilities
Lived only ten percent, this life.
Sheer look that murders and gives life,
What a romantic hint this life!
A beauty spot--her soft black mole,
Yet, no less than a flint this life.
It lets a thousand flowers bloom
Ah with a distinct tint this life.
A flip...

Desert-lands of remorseIf desert-lands of remorse can be crossed ahead, enough,
Cage deemed as open sky, if my wings can be spread, enough.
Yon, when the winking sky is found willing to welcome me,
If just half-closed window can be all-ajar made, enough.
To set foot-tracks on hills,...

It were youWiping own tears who made me smile were you,
Who never let my sorrows pile were you.
In a house haunting where I lived alone,
Who even made loneliness smile were you.
Few bother broods like me in busy world,
To my life’s lamp who supplied oil were you.
I recall playing as children long back,
One that let...

Solitary CreatureNew kid lost in a new world, when separated
from what was known and loved, alone when separated.
Some animals regrow lost parts of themselves: twisted limbs or tail.
Parasites die without another to depend on. They die when separated.
Barnacularly reaching out to anyone who will notice, with bird-like wails,
desperate to be seen, to survive, before it is...

Pen-pushers frost in timeThey think they’re Keats and Frost of time,
Some pen-pushers are frost in time.
All they pen, not but passing rhyme,
Is set sail, a big boast in time,
Which, all of self-promoted stuff
Gathers black and white dust in time.
Let some prayers be said for them:
Their footprints last on coast in time.
Heart wishes well, head less than least,

Some wishes must waitSome wishes must wait all the time,
Life’s still such a bait all the time.
Grapes never go sour all the time,
Not tongues’, it’s mind’s trait all the time.
Strange, two souls under the same roof
Live a life of hate all the time.
Trust between two suffers some times,
Endurance abates all the time.
Ghazals would do well often times
If...

In search of sympathyAll have hassles their own,
All with own fate upset,
With whom to pour my heart?
Under roof-- one common
All suffer self-sown fate,
With whom to pour my heart?
Sad tales, not so unknown,
They all seem to narrate,
With whom to pour my heart?
No one is left alone
If we search, sort, ferret,
With whom...

Main apnon ka maara hua panchhi
Raahay manzil ka pata aik shikari se pooch ke
Main aik naye pinjray mein phansaya hua panchhi
Meri hurmat ka imtihan hai, aur daanay hain kam

My painLesser as I cried softer felt my pain,
When muffled loud sobs soother felt my pain.
With a power-saw I cut me into two,
Gave me solace, the succour soothed my pain.
Dwelling on my hurt and its remedies,
Ever the more severe felt my pain.
Yea, like a dog I chewed on painful bone,
Like a piece of...
